MIRASOL PRO data boost mirvetuximab soravtansine potential in FRα-positive ovarian cancer
Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) from the phase III MIRASOL trial underpin the potential of the antibody drug conjugate mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV) to improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in women with folate receptor-alpha positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (FRα-positive PROC) as opposed to investigator’s choice of chemotherapy.
